A historic moment - Merger Press Conference at Flushing Hospital today - January 2, 2014.
- Unprecedented in the Korean Community -
As of January 2, 2014, after decades of partnering to help women, children and families affected by domestic violence and abuse, the Korean American Family Service Center (KAFSC) has combined with Women In Need Center, Inc. (WINC, formerly Rainbow Center of New York) to enhance their capacity to serve the greater New York community.
The two leading nonprofits signed an Affiliation Agreement (as the first step toward a merger) at a press event on January 2, 2014 which took place at Flushing Hospital, 4500 Parsons Boulevard in Flushing, New York. The newly combined entity will bring together the boards and staff of both organizations and will continue under the name Korean American Family Service Center, headed by Jungsook Grace Yoon, Executive Director.
The merger will bring together the 25 years of KAFSC's experience in providing counseling services and community education programs to end domestic violence and create a violence-free society and WINC's 21 years of offering emergency shelter and round-the-clock support services to battered women and their children. By coming together, the merger will provide an even stronger capacity to fulfill the overall mission of creating a violence-free society.
This is a historic and unprecedented moment for the Korean community. We are excited for what the future holds as we work together towards empowering women, children and families to live violence-free and self-sufficient lives!
